The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Re: source packages and upstream source

Hi,

	One issue I have with dpkg-source is the bad interaction diff
 has with what it considers binary files. If you wish to modify a file
 that happens to be a binary file (as we some times modify others
 files), then diff fails, and so does dpkg source.

        So, if you want a gif in a package that is not there in the
 original, or if you want to replace an image with a Linux/Debian
 image file, this may be a problem. (I think. I have not tested the
 veracity of this statement lately, it certainly bit me once or
 twice). 

	 Mind you, I'm not objecting; I think it *should* be policy
 that we enumerate the complete pedigree of the sources in our
 packages. 

	   (If it is made policy, though, I'll have to unbundle CGI.pm
 from CGI-modules, which are distributed to gether because the author
 wished it so).

	manoj
